RPI neighborhood tavern closed by state

TROY — O’Leary’s Tavern, a popular hangout on the east side of the RPI campus, will be shuttered for two weeks by the State Liquor Authority (SLA).

O’Leary’s, located at 2253 15th Street, will close from next Tuesday, September 27, through October 11 and pay a $6,000 fine, according to the SLA.

The penalties stem from an April 28 investigation by the SLA and Troy Police Department that found four minors with alcohol inside the tavern. The probe comes in part as a response to complaints from neighbors about raucous behavior by bar patrons.
